1 Samuel 1:24-28 "In those days, Hannah brought Samuel with her, along with a three-year-old bull an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine and presented him at the temple of the LORD in Shiloh. After the boy’s father had sacrificed the young bull Hannah, his mother, approached Eli and said:“Pardon, my lord! As you live, my lord I prayed for this child, and the LORD granted my reque Now I, in turn, give him to the LORD; as long as he lives, he shall be dedicated to the LORD.”

GOSPEL: Luke 1:46-56 Mary said:“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord my spirit rejoices in God my savior. for he has looked upon his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation He has shown the strength of his arm and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever.” Mary remained with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her home...."
